for the ranger thread, however I do not use that exact bar.

For More XP with the ranger, you can bring an SS along and do first few quests, an SS can do them without the ranger.

I think you can make more from soloing trolls w/ scrolls.

hmmm, maybe with a trapper, tho still, just taking whirling and troll and that being the only self defense is still very iffy for me. UW runs however are about 10-15 mins for just smites, and yield min 20k xp

chuckle... So who's going to be the first person to get Legendary Survivor... in Pre-Searing!?!?!

2ndName · Aug 24, 2006, 07:57 PM // 19:57

Yeah, if I was not that attached to my primary warrior, I would delete and recreate for a level 3 Survivor. I tried the whole survivor dealy with my Necro. Made it fine to level 1 Survivor. Started to cap skills and that one boss outside of Senji's just pure owned me for 400dmg.

IIIPowerIII · Aug 24, 2006, 11:04 PM // 23:04

I made it fine to 1200k exp with my warrior. Then I left the game at 50hp and It gave me 1 deaths... So I lost my title for 130k ish exp... :P Then I took a break of GW and now i'm back to try again :P

That said, I'm about 90k off lvl2 survivor, and have to admit, most of it is farmed.

In regards to farming though, I'm after the 15k kurzik armor and.. JUST playing the game, ISNT going to get me the 75k I need, so I'm justifying my farming for xp with that.

Of course, it doesn't help that I'm hopelessly paranoid, will not play the character if I'm slightly tired for fear of making a mistake, and believe that if I'm in a team, I'd like to help the team as much as I can... which includes taking risks occasionally.

To everyone who has legendary survivor, congrats! It takes a lot of dedication to reach that one

This reminds me, if you're going for Survivor tiers higher than 1, be very careful about Vizunah Square mission in Cantha.

Be prepared that you might get killed in the final cutscene if there are minions around (from either side) as they go hostile and can end up resulting in death = 1 after cutscene is over.

It happened to my Survivor (Search forum for it, thread is here somewhere)

I got a reply from Anet about that bug and basically they said they won't do anything to reinstate or compensate, even if you lose it through no fault of your own i.e. bugged cutscene.

I can think of at least one other cutscene, Raisu Palace halfway through you could be picked off by shiroken rangers if you're unlucky enough to be at the far end of the lineup of players in the cutscene.

Sekkira · Aug 25, 2006, 01:01 AM // 01:01

Died at 727k exp the other night and now restarting. I had every elite capped, all masters missions and quests done up to unwaking waters, then died at kuunavang because I stupidly had faith that I couldn't die with 3 ritualists and two monks on our team alone. I guess I hadn't counted on all 5 of them being absolutely hopeless and should have quit out before we even went in the mission :\

Currently level 19 and getting to 20 in Tyria before going to repeat everything in Cantha from level 20 as I feel it'll give me that few k edge on exp when I get to unwaking again.

got my legendary survivor with an on your knees glads defense builds farming trolls with slayer scrolls, abotu 9k xp for 5 minutes work a run

JiggyFly · Aug 25, 2006, 03:29 AM // 03:29

Most every class has a solo farm build, although some have it harder than others, but just find that build then use and abuse. If you can pull off doing troll farming runs or something close with exp scrolls nothing really comes close in terms of speed and the low difficulty level.

But! Aren't you Really screwing over any group you join up with? I mean, you start to get a little low on health and you leave. I hope the survivor title people only play with friends or henchies. I wouldn't want someone attempting the survivor title in my group.

Do you warn people in your group that you're going after the survivor title?

Illusion of Weakness. When it kicks in, you run from all danger. By the time I'm about to die, my res sig is always already used and I'm either the last or one of the last left standing at which point the team is doomed regardless of whether I die or not.

No, it puts pressure on the monks. I've monked for people going after it and although it's not hard to do your job, the pressure causes mistakes. Being a very good monk myself (I'm not going to be modest about that I'm probably better than most people here), if it puts me under pressure and it's possible for me to faulter, I'd rather not tell my monks that I'm after survivor.

Hench for all quests, people for missions (try elona with a pug

) No, I don't bother telling them I have a survivor title, partly cause as Sekkira said, it makes the monk's job harder, partly cause I don't want to run into someone who's out to kill survivors.

Do I contribute less to the team? Yeah, definatly missing 1 skill, so instead of 7 skills + res I carry 6 + res and possibly only 5 so I can have a self heal and illusion of weakness. (if I'm running illusion)

Then again, any mending warrior is probably contributing just as much to the team as I am, even without the survivor title

Alias_X · Aug 25, 2006, 07:02 PM // 19:02

A really cheap way to get the title, but a way:

Start a Mo/any (55 monk)

Get a run to the Desert.
Get powerleveled in the Desert.
once you hit 20 and are ascended, pack all the 55 skils and head out for farming.

Kill griffons and hydras all day, as long as you are familiar with 55ing, you shouldn't die.

Result? Endless XP.

Pvp Bra · Aug 25, 2006, 07:10 PM // 19:10

its better to have the guild window open so you can go to the guild hall instead of quitting the game. When you quit there are still a few seconds where you can die.

That would work with any profession really soooo...

You could also tag along with any 55 or a friend who has a 55 monk or necro and gain
your title that way too

it's power leveling to a certain extent but it would work no probs...

A 610 HP Spirit Bond would be a Far better solution, as one mistake wont kill you

Still, this is a cheap solution, i wouldnt feel i had acheived much
